Is there a "stop" list for the spell checker?

Firefox accepts certain words like "ans" (instead of "and") as properly spelled. I would like to have the spell checker flag this word. Is there any way to create a list of words that Firefox should always consider as misspelled?

Thanks.

Firefox uses the Hunspell spelling checker. The Hunspell spelling
checker uses a pair of .dic and .aff files for its spelling
dictionaries.

You may be able to fix this particular problem by making the
following two fixes to the file "en-US.dic" (US English spelling
dictionary)

1. find the line which says
dean/M
and change it to
dean/MS

2. find the line which says
an/CS
and change it to
an

I have not tested this thoroughly, so make a backup in case you want
to revert.

There does not appear to be any way to specifically add a list of
words to always reject.
